Belt buckles of this light alloy(leichtmetall) type were manufactured from 1935 untill 1940 when replaced by pressed metal types,so pre to very early WW2 issue.

The Navy(Kriegsmarine) wore the same buckle as the Army but in gilt

Bullets

The first (larger) round is 13cm long, so is a .50 Browning, not a .30-06. It was made at St.Louis Ordnance Plant in the US in 193.

The second is a .303 Mark VII ball round made at Greenwood & Batley, Leeds, in 1916.

The left hand bullet does indeed look like a .455 Webley Mark II ball round as Tony says, whilst the one on the right seems to be a .577 Minie type bullet, probably from an Enfield muzzle loader, but possibly from a Snider conversion.

Regards
TonyE
